Support the Shine On, Gold Campaign with a gift of $100 or more during the campaign and receive an exclusive invitation to our Campaign Celebration on September 18, 2026, at Bank Independent Stadium, as well as name recognition on our campaign donor wall.

Philanthropy begins with you. Your gift can support the area of campus that means the most to you. If you’re passionate about meeting the University’s greatest needs, consider supporting the 1830 Fund. If the arts inspire you, a key campaign priority is Phase II of the Fine and Performing Arts Enhancement Plan. And if you’d like to leave a lasting mark in the heart of campus, you can do so through the Legacy Initiative.

The campaign concludes September 30, 2026, so act now to be part of this historic, transformative campaign.
